Sauté onion and ginger in the oil. Add squash, apples, water and chicken base. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until squash is tender. Puree with a stick blender until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Depending on the size of the squash, makes about 4 two cup servings.

Hint: I microwave the squash, apples and onions for a hurry-up option.

Why They're Here

One day it occurred to me that creating a blog with many of the old and some of the new family recipes I've prepared over nearly 60 years would be a way to preserve them for my daughters and grandchildren.

On Sept. 19, 2008 "Diane's Family Recipes" was born. I hope you enjoy the site. Thanks for visiting.

PS: LOW-CARB MAKEOVER

In May 2010, my family became low-carbers. I'm in the process of converting my old family recipes, so some that you find on this site will still be carb-loaded. (I'll keep both recipes online.) The most recent are the low-carb-friendly versions. Thanks for your patience while I tweak as many as I can. Diane
